[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 1423828, member: 12043"] I actually think they are great. I just bought a case of Dragon eye for MojoGM and we sat on the floor and opened the 16 packs that came in the case. We got almost all of this series, with a few exceptions, which will be picked up online as singles, or we'll use older pewter minis for those creatures if need be. Right now, in our games, we don't just use the new minis. We use a mix and we never painted our pewters. Yeah, they look better painted, but neither of us has the time or talent to paint them. I also use a lot of pewter fantasy figurines that were not really meant to be D&D minis. I don't see how 3.5 assumes the use of minis. I'm sure you could play without them if it's that much of a hassle for you; or you could always use the older ones and just not paint them if that's not your cup of tea. You have to realize that there are just some creatures that minis would never , ever get made for due to lack of demand were it not for the randomized packs. Someday you might be glad you have some of them. You never know. Another thing to consider is trading some of your commons in for a rare on one of the sites that sells singles.
